This impressive 696-page volume tells of Fantagraphics Books key role in helping build, shape and define an art movement--comic book art.

MR. TWEE DEEDLE RAGGEDY ANN'S SPRIGHTLY COUSIN Forgotten Fantasy Masterpieces of Johnny Gruelle. Highly Recommended. Edited by Rick Marschall. If you like the fantastic adventures of Little Nemo, do not miss this--literally Nemo's successor! For many years I've collected Johnny Gruelle's lovely illustrated books. Though he's best known for Raggedy Ann and Andy, I've found his other work far more interesting. But never before had I seen this brilliant newspaper Sunday Page from 1911-17. This REALLY is a forgotten masterpiece, never reprinted before. Mr. Twee Deedle is a magical wood sprite who befriends the strip's two human children. Gruelle depicts a charming, fantastical child's world, filled with light whimsy and outlandish fantasy. Fantagraphics, 2012. . Note: These copies have bumped corners....More.
